There's a DIY thread on here on how to replace the governor solenoid.

 

after a test drive and a pressure test, an experienced shop knows EXACTLY what it needs. might be a couple of surprises that run the price up. for the most part - its sort of a standard rebuild kit.

 

Thanks for all the help guys. As soon as I started having trouble, I thought, if I could just get home and check the dodgeforums...

 

I know this may not be a big help. But I have a 5-45RFE out of a 04 1500. 2K on it befor it came out of the truck. I only wanted the Hemi and had to take both. Anyway I would take 1000 for it. I am in DFW.

 

that's a good question to ask the shop, and would be listed on a parts list or build sheet. on a dodge - they should be.

you might want to look/listen for the words - sonnax sure cure kit. dodge needs it.

+1 on replacing the freeze plugs on the back of the block and heads. they'll charge you a little extra for that. its worth it to do it now, rather than having to pull the trans at some later date.

 

i think he's going to have to have a 46RE from a 2nd gen.

 

shop here in ga is running me $1600 installed with 1 yr/12,000miles. the trans in my old dodge they rebuilt for $1200.. i installed

no cheap way out....

 

i think i payed 1800 few months ago so i would say that a pretty good price

 

These tranny threads always scare the outa me.

 

Hell yeah...especially if your on your stock tranny!!!
